I think if we have to nominate a judge, Zulu would be very impartial and objective, but that means he couldn't compete, but then again that means less competition for us.

So, how many liberties can you take with a charater as far as their training-like where they attended basic and such? If it wasn't on the original file card but cited later in either the Order of Battle or DDP's Battle Files, would it count?

The only liberty is what can be interpreted, expanded, extrapolated from the filecards and Order of Battles, including Action Force (I'd think).

And I'm guessing that you can also expand on things that are in the original file cards, within reason. You just can't make stuff up without proof, such as "Snow Job attended the Univ. of Vermont and majored in...". That is off limits, as I understand it.

Where did Falcon get his commision? Where did Flint do his Undergrad work? Those questions interest me a LOT, but I suppose that's different that Snow Job attending the U of V. We know that Falcon and Flint went to College; there's no evidence that Snow Job ever went to college. Speaking of this subject, it seems to me that most logical choice for Falcon's education is West Point. With the notable exception of Claymore (who went to Dartmouth), Steeler (ROTC), and Psyche-Out (who went to Berkley), nearly every other combat officer in G.I. Joe went to West Point. Hawk, Grid Iron, Super Trooper, Rapid-Fire... Gen. Flagg went to VMI, but that's pretty similar to West Point. I don't know where Col. Courage or Sub-Zero went.

Navy
Admiral Keel-Haul - Aviation; Annapolis Torpedo is questionable. I can't think of any other Naval Officers in G.I. Joe, except for the new Convention figure/character: Dolphin Marines Lt. Stone (Extreme) - Infantry/Recon; OCS Coast Guard (LTJG) Cutter - USCGA Air Force - 9 Officers (Colonel) Payload - Pilot; ? (LTC) Sky Striker - Pilot: ? (Major) Ace - Pilot; ? (Major) Slip Stream - Pilot; ROTC (Major) Ghostrider - Pilot; ? (CPT) Maverick - Pilot; USAFA (CPT) Countdown - Pilot; ? (CPT) Gears - Engineer; ? (1LT) Dogfight - Pilot; ? ... Am I missing some pilots?

Every Service Academy is represented by at least one Joe, and West Point has at least 5 confirmed graduates (8 Academy Grads total). VMI has 2 graduates. The Citadel is not represented at all. ROTC has at least 3 graduates.
As best as I can figure, there are a total of about 34 Officers in G.I. Joe, though that number is inflated by one (Lt. Stone) by crossing continuities. So in the original continuity, 8/33 Joe officers were trained & commisioned through a Federal Service Academy.
